Lol, AD is a loose gun. He is the most unconsistent "journalist" i've ever seen.

One day is one way and another day another way. On the other hand, it looks like Kimi has left something between the teeth for the Brit-jounos to whine. Or i am just imaging things?, maybe it is the WDC grabbed before the eyes of Hammy or is it simply the "mumble" which annoy them, which actually should annoy them least. Very few are native english speakers.

Hope Kimster shows that he is at least "deserving" (whatever that means) this year

very good points... I think your theory holds true with Vettel as well... They refuse to cut him any slack. You don't have to love the guy, but they seem to attack him at every corner

AD forgot to mention magic words: lack of the motivation but probably even he knew that would be way too far

I also like the buttons on the wheel, but the Jenson one has been bugging me - what does it actually do when pushed?

by pushing Button you get to Jenson (Button)

"It's early days here in Jerez, and I have been out on the track to have a look at the cars and how they're behaving. People are running lots of different fuel loads, and that can have a major effect on the handling of the car, but you can look at general characteristics. Like last year, the Lotus looks good. Romain Grosjean is able to keep the front tucked in nicely on the tricky exit of Turn Two, where the track falls away. If a driver misses his braking point, it can be hard in a tricky car to keep it on line, but the Lotus is going well. Mark Webber appeared to be running a lot of fuel in the Red Bull, which looked cumbersome. The Ferrari looked pretty good and vice-free. The car seemed well planted and Felipe Massa looked committed, which is always a good sign. And overall, I'd say the gap between the front of the grid and further back may well have narrowed."

Sounds like the Lotus has got a good, solid front end. A charachteristic which Kimi likes in a car and one that gives him a lot of confidence to push. Lets hope all else is well dialled in to suit Kimi

Since its captioned Jenson so it must be a Button. But other than that its probably the radio button. Complaining about grip and balance on the radio is a trademark of Jenson so radio button would make sense.

Kimi says they had some electrical issues and other glitches, and also had to make adjustments to the seat, hence only 40 laps today.He used the hard tyres the entire day and was just "learning to drive again" but will tomorrow go for some faster lap times with softer tyres.

Would have liked to of seen him get more laps today but there is still the whole of tommorow so hopefully he can get some good running. Loving the new helmet as well.

Very consistent runs. Let's see of there are any glory runs towards the end of the day.

I hate the term "glory run". Why do we have to make it sound so bad ? I'm sure they also need the data from low fuel runs. After all quali is done with low fuel and new tires. So trying to get better in quali is glory hunting ?

Am I the only one who finds it strange that time was wasted getting the seat right. Would this not have all been worked out before testing started? Or maybe this is related to only one chasis during testing?

As long as Kimi is comfortable in the car, he would be happy starting in Melbourne tomorrow.
